Reveal smoother, brighter and deeply hydrated skin with the Tiny Leaf NZ Hydrate + Brightening Face Serum. This lightweight, fast-absorbing serum has been formulated to deliver lasting hydration while supporting a more even-looking complexion. Combining botanical hydrosols with proven active ingredients, it helps replenish moisture, strengthen the skin barrier and leave skin looking healthy, calm and radiant. The formulation includes chamomile hydrosol, kawakawa hydrosol, 1% hyaluronic acid solution, niacinamide, coconut-derived glycerin and green tea extract.
Why We Chose These Ingredients
Chamomile Hydrosol
Chamomile has long been valued for its calming properties. We chose chamomile hydrosol as the foundation of this serum because it helps comfort dry, stressed and sensitive skin while providing lightweight hydration without feeling heavy.
Kawakawa Hydrosol
Kawakawa is one of New Zealand's most treasured native botanicals. Rather than using an oil, we selected kawakawa hydrosol to provide gentle hydration while helping soothe skin that feels irritated or out of balance. It complements sensitive skin beautifully and aligns with our commitment to showcasing locally inspired ingredients.
Hyaluronic Acid (1% Solution)
Hyaluronic acid is renowned for attracting and holding water within the skin. It helps improve hydration, softens the appearance of fine dehydration lines and leaves the skin feeling plump, fresh and smooth.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide is one of the most researched skincare ingredients available. We included it because it helps improve uneven skin tone, supports the skin barrier, refines the appearance of pores and promotes a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin and helps keep it there. It provides long-lasting hydration while improving softness and supporting a healthy skin barrier.
Green Tea Extract
Rich in naturally occurring antioxidants, green tea extract helps defend the skin against environmental stressors while helping to calm and refresh the complexion. It works alongside the other ingredients to promote healthier-looking skin.
